Physical form

Protein A purified

Purified mouse monoclonal IgG3 conjugated to FITC in PBS with 0.1% sodium azide and 15 mg/mL BSA.

Quality

Evaluated by flow cytometry using PC-12 cells.

Specificity

Galactocerebroside (GalC), sulfatide, psychosine and other galactolipids cross-reacts with the sulfatide ester of GalC, but to a 16-fold lesser extent. No cross-reactivity with sphingosine, ceramide, mixed ganglioside or glucocerebroside. Binds specifically with oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells.

Storage and Stability

Maintain refrigerated at 2-8 °C protected from light in undiluted aliquots for up to 6 months from date of receipt.
